I punched in 1967 Buick Skylark 1/4 Panel and several came up on the internet. They were used units and i didn,t find any full 1/4s. There were partial replacement panels available new. Hope this helps.

Okay Jim, I know it's a nasty situation...The AMX I did all those years ago I couldn't even get anything close to looking like AMX quarters. I didn't realize that those where the JC Whitney kind...thought if nothing else you might be able to piece a quarter together.

I started feeling sorry for you...with your rear quarters and all...I understand...I had to build rear quarters for an AMX years ago and it can be a bear...so I did a bit of searching....try these guys.

I hope it helps...it may not be exactly what you want but it's probably better than what you have.

I ve seen some cheap shhh*t from jc whitney, I m not even going to waste my money & time, - I ll call Then & Now after the new year and If they can't
find it, I guess I'll try my luck fabricating my own, Thanks to ALL for your ideas & info ----JIM

Each division used completely different exterior sheet metal. Nothing else interchanges. 66/67 Skylark is probably the only interchange.

you can fab those up really easy with a brake and bead roller, or even hammer formed 2x4's, but then again if you had those tools you probably wouldn't be asking.

I have not done a 67 skylark but the trunk drops are similar to all the cars that you mentioned. The most similar, if memory serves me correctly is the Cutlass. I'm sure with a little trimming (you usually need to trim any part like this regardless, even if it's car specific), it can be made to fit and fit well. I have done several 66, 67 Chevelles with this same problem before aftermarket parts where available and made the piece. If your originals are good enough to use as a pattern, that may be another option.

Hope this helps.

1967 GM "A" Body sheet metal alternatives

I need Rear Quarter Panels & Trunk drop filler extentions for my 67 Skylark. What GM "A" Body would best closely resemble the body style/ curves / & lines. They do make these parts for 67 chevelle/cutlass/lemans & temptest etc... but as of right now NONE for 67 skylark. I will buy the part that is as close as I can get, and then cut & weld, but I am not sure what car I should be looking at. What would you guys/gals suggest as a good alternative / substitute. Has anyone out there done this on their 67 skylark. Thanks JIM
